I've got a new job, so I'll be leaving my office Windows XP PC behind when I go in a couple of weeks. Fortunately, as a regular reader of Lifehacker, my employer is happy for me to install almost anything on my PC as long as it doesn't interfere with work. That means I have two years' worth of Firefox extensions, XP powertoys, productivity applications and all the other tiny improvements that Lifehacker et al recommends. Many of them are now so sewn into my daily life I don't know what I have or how I can replicate it on my new office PC (or even at home). Do you have any tips on moving it all over other than copying out my add/remove programmes list and finding them all again manually?

My first bit of advice is to audit your Windows programs using previously-mentioned Belarc Advisor, which will give you a detailed report of what programs you've installed and then some. But there's a lot more to moving to a new computer than getting a list of software, so to get as many perspectives as possible, I'm turning this over to the readers. What suggestions do you have for a seamless and successful move to a new computer? Let us know in the comments or at tips at lifehacker.com. — Adam Pash
